Experts Who Quit Panama's Transparency Commission Produce Their Own Report
"Ending the kinds of offshore abuses revealed by the Panama Papers
scandal requires a global solution led by the United States and Europe, a
report released today by Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz
and Swiss anti-corruption expert Mark Pieth says.
The 25-page report, 'Overcoming the Shadow Economy,'
argues that, as 'economic leaders,' the U.S. and the European Union 'have an obligation to force financial centers to comply with global
transparency standards.'
The U.S. and EU have shown they have the tools to stem the flow of
dirty money in the fight against terrorism, but have failed to use these
same anti-money-laundering tools as forcefully in the fight against
financial corruption and tax dodging, the report says."
